Xiaoming was panicked to hear that Liu Jin Yu was hurt. On the other hand, Tianjie wondered who could attack them. He gulped in fear and followed the other princes.

Hei Chengxi joined the King and informed him that both the ladies were safe.

“What is wrong with the security, General Hei? Last time, it was the Crown Prince, whose life fell into danger,” Qiu Zedong reprimanded Hei Chengxi. He lowered his head and apologized to the King.

“I do not need an apology from General Hei,” Qiu Zedong said with a stern tone. “I need answers by this evening. If you and Qiu Mu fail to find out who was behind all this by the evening, then be ready to take the punishment. This time, I will not hear any excuses,” he stated.

Hei Chengxi and Qiu Mu both stopped upon hearing the King. Qiu Mu had his suspicions about Tianjie, but he didn’t want to talk about this openly because he had no evidence.

The King entered the bedchamber, and everyone present rose to their feet. Liu Jin Yu also stood and lowered her head. Li Hua was still unconscious and the curtains were put around the bed.

“Jin Yu,” Xiaoming approached her and examined her left arm. “How did you get hurt?” He worriedly asked.

“Will Miss Liu tell us what happened?” Qiu Zedong questioned. Xiaoming got aside and waited for Jin Yu’s answer.

.....

“Your Majesty, Princess Consort Li Hua and I got attacked by a group of masked men while going to the residence of Li Hua’s brother. There were more than ten men, and they attacked us. Some of them were shooters,” Liu Jin Yu answered and then revealed about Feng Lao, who saved Li Hua, but she didn’t know his name.

The maidservant brought Feng Lao inside after a minute, who bowed before the King and the Queen.

Mingquan was surprised to see Feng Lao, and so was Xiaoming.

“What are you doing here?” Qiu Zedong questioned him.

“Your Majesty, I have come to meet the Sixth Prince. However, I encountered them and found out that some more masked men had attacked them,” Feng Lao replied, keeping his head low.

Qiu Zedong nodded at him and then glanced at Liu Jin Yu. “Did Miss Liu get injured while fighting?” He inquired.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Because they attacked the front soldiers with the arrows, we were left with limited soldiers. I had to jump in to save our lives,” Liu Jin Yu replied.

Zhu Liling asked the King why the royal family members were being attacked in this way. “Your Majesty, last time it was the Crown Prince. This time the targets were the future Crown Princess and Li Hua,” she stated while panicking.

“Is there any hidden enemy around us?” Virtuous Noble Consort Ruoxi opined and looked at the King.

“But why would someone attack them only when they go out?” Zhang Xi raised a doubt.

“Quiet, everyone! There is nothing to be feared about this. If there is any hidden enemy around us, then he will be caught soon,” Qiu Zedong stated, and decided to consult with Monk Yuze once. Something was indeed wrong in the royal family.

He found out that Lóng Wei wasn’t around and asked about him.

“Father, Brother Lóng Wei has gone to the administrative office in the morning,” Jingfei replied.

At that moment, Lóng Wei entered the chamber. He ignored everyone present in the chamber and went straight towards the bed. Pushing the curtain away, he looked at Li Hua.

“Brother Lóng Wei, Li Hua is unconscious. Physician Peng has said that she will be awake in a few hours,” Jingfei stated. Lóng Wei put the curtain back and turned to look at Zhu Liling.

“Why did you allow her to leave the palace?” Lóng Wei’s tone wasn’t pleasant at all. He forgot that he was speaking to the Queen of the Qiu Kingdom. He was burning with rage. Only he knew how he had controlled himself.

“Lóng Wei, what is this way to talk with your royal mother?” Qiu Zedong scolded him and asked him to apologize.

Lóng Wei was already stressed by the news, and his father expected him to be courteous to Zhu Liling.

“Li Hua has received a message from her brother to meet her at the residence,” Zhu Liling told Lóng Wei. “She requested me and I allowed her,” she affirmed.

“Your Highness, Li Hua indeed requested Her Majesty’s permission to let her go to her brother’s house,” Liu Jin Yu intervened and looked at the maidservant who was appointed to Li Hua’s service. “Tell the Prince about the message.”

The maidservant stepped up with her head down. “Lord Xu has sent his servant to bring Her Highness to him,” she stated.

Tianjie gulped and the sweat formed on his hands. He had no idea if the man whom he sent was alive or dead. If he were alive, then Lóng Wei would think it was him who attacked Li Hua. He had to make sure the man would die before Lóng Wei reached him, if he was alive.

“Call Xu Zifan to the palace,” Qiu Zedong to the palace. “Everyone must leave this chamber. Prince Lóng Wei, follow me,” Qiu Zedong stated.

“I am afraid, but I cannot follow the father, leaving Li Hua alone,” Lóng Wei stated. “I will come to him once she wakes up,” he assured his father.

“Fine.” Qiu Zedong said, and he left, followed by the others.

Lóng Wei stopped Liu Jin Yu and asked her to stay behind.

“She is injured and needs rest, Brother Lóng Wei,” Xiaoming said.

“I am alright, Your Royal Highness,” Liu Jin Yu said. She had yet to tell Lóng Wei about the mysterious man who saved Li Hua from getting harmed.

“What happened? Tell me everything in detail,” Lóng Wei asked Li Hua after everyone left the chamber.

“Your Highness, the enemy attacked Li Hua, who not only destroyed her family but mine too. His highness made a mistake to bring her to the palace,” Feng Lao stated and stepped up. Lóng Wei got annoyed when he heard him and clenched his fists.
